In this episode of ๐๐จ๐๐œ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘, Jay sits down with ๐‰๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐ข๐š๐ก ๐†๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ข๐š for an honest conversation about life after amputation, type 1 diabetes, depression, fatherhood, faith, and finding the strength to keep going. Jeremiah shares how a spider bite developed into a serious infection and eventually led to the amputation of his leg. What followed was an overwhelming period of physical and emotional adjustment, including phantom limb pain, limited mobility, isolation, and some of the darkest moments of his life. Through it all, Jeremiahโ€™s faith and his responsibility as a father gave him a reason to keep getting back up. Jay and Jeremiah also discuss menโ€™s mental health, the pressure to always appear strong, and why vulnerability should never be mistaken for weakness. Jeremiah opens up about the importance of finding a healthy outlet, asking for help, and having a safe place to speak honestly without judgment. This episode is for anyone navigating life after amputation, living with type 1 diabetes, struggling with depression, adjusting to a disability, or rebuilding after a life-changing medical experience. Jeremiahโ€™s message is simple: Life may hit you hard, but you cannot give up. ๐…๐Ž๐‹๐‹๐Ž๐– ๐‰๐„๐‘๐„๐Œ๐ˆ๐€๐‡: โ https://www.instagram.com/jay106739https://www.facebook.com/jeremiah.d.garcia ๐…๐Ž๐‹๐‹๐Ž๐– ๐๐Ž๐ƒ๐‚๐€๐’๐“ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ ๐‹๐ˆ๐•๐„:โ https://www.instagram.com/podcast23.live/โ โ https://www.youtube.com/@podcast23liveโ https://www.tiktok.com/@podcast23.liveโ  Want to be a guest on an episode?

In this episode of ๐๐จ๐๐œ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘, Jay sits down with ๐„๐ฏ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐š๐ฑ๐ญ๐จ๐ง ๐๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ for a powerful conversation about calling, surrender, healing, miracles, and the goodness of God. Paxton shares how his faith began to take root after being brought into a Pentecostal church as a child, how he gave his life to Christ at sixteen, and how he later felt called into ministry during a youth camp. His story is a reminder that God can restore passion, soften the heart, and reveal purpose even after seasons of distance or pain. Jay and Paxton also discuss what it truly means to be a minister, why ministry is a joy, and how prayer continues to change lives. The conversation moves into healing, miracles, AI and scripture, social media influence in modern ministry, and the return of Christ. In a world where faith can easily become content, and ministry can be confused with influence, this episode points back to what matters most: helping people encounter Jesus . ๐…๐Ž๐‹๐‹๐Ž๐– ๐๐€๐—๐“๐Ž๐:โ  https://www.instagram.com/evangelistpaxtonโ  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588544897325 https://www.youtube.com/@evpaxtonbates https://www.threads.com/@evangelistpaxton DONATIONS: https://venmo.com/u/paxtonlbates ๐…๐Ž๐‹๐‹๐Ž๐– ๐๐Ž๐ƒ๐‚๐€๐’๐“ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ ๐‹๐ˆ๐•๐„:โ  https://www.instagram.com/podcast23.live/ โ โ https://www.youtube.com/@podcast23liveโ  https://www.tiktok.com/@podcast23.liveโ  Want to be a guest on an episode?
